English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Why are platform games on the Amiga really mediocre?

Games that played, sounded, and looked like GODS was the reason I preferred the Amiga at the time. There's a lot of rose tinted glasses crap going on here, after playing loads of snes/mega drive games over the years I`m starting to wonder what all the fuss was about.. In retrospect I think hype was to blame for a lot of the bigotry.

There's no way gods was just an average game, it had a very positive buzz on it's release from press, and much talked about at school with friends.. and here we are still talking about it 20+ years later.

At the very least it's iconic, not average.
